Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced treatment for severe respiratory failure. The article explores the emerging concept of awake ECMO, which allows patients to avoid sedation and invasive ventilation. This approach may lead to benefits such as reduced delirium and shorter mechanical ventilation times, although it also carries risks. The authors provide a comprehensive review of current evidence and clinical practices surrounding awake ECMO.
